Synodic month length 29.45 days

Length of current 379 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 47 minutes. It is 25 minutes longer than next lunation 380 length.

Lunation length shorter than mean

Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 57 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 12 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.

Lunar orbit position on 9 September 2030 Monday 12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠279.9°

This lunation true anomaly is ∠279.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠310.2°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).

Moon after perigee

4 days after point of perigee on 4 September 2030 at 17:06 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 9 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 18 September 2030 at 18:09 in ♊ Gemini.

Distance to Moon 374 687 km

Moon after ascending node

4 days after its ascending node on 4 September 2030 at 20:52 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 8 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 18 September 2030 at 10:12 in ♊ Gemini.

Draconic month

Moon after southern standstill

4 days after previous South standstill on 5 September 2030 at 08:00 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-22.341°. Next 9 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠22.208° in the next northern standstill on 19 September 2030 at 02:24 in ♊ Gemini.
